Abstract

The ways in which religious communities interact with one another is an increasing focus of scholarly research and teaching. Issues of interreligious engagement, inclusive of dialogue more specifically and relations more generally, attract widespread interest and concern. In a religiously pluralist world, how different communities get along with each other is not just an academic question; it is very much a focus of socio-political and wider community attention. The study ofreligions and religion in the 21st century world must necessarily take account of relations within and between religions,

Abstract

Presenting case studies from sixteen countries on five continents, The Catholic Church and the Nation-State paints a rich portrait of a complex and paradoxical institution whose political role has varied historically and geographically. In this integrated and synthetic collection of essays, outstanding scholars from the United States and abroad examine religious, diplomatic, and political actionsùboth admirable and regrettableùthat shape our world. Kenneth R. Himes sets the context of the book by brilliantly describing the political influence of the church in the post-Vatican II era. There are

Abstract

John Locke's Letter Concerning Toleration (1689) is one of the most widely-read texts in the political theory of toleration, and a key text for the liberal tradition. However, Locke also defended toleration more extensively in three subsequent Letters, which he wrote in response to criticism by an Anglican cleric, Jonas Proast. This edition, which includes a new translation of the original Letter, by Michael Silverthorne, enables readers to assess John Locke's theory of toleration by studying both his classic work and essential extracts from the later Letters. An introduction by Richard Vernon sets Locke's theory in its historical context and examines the key questions for contemporary political theorists which arise from this major work in the history of political thought.

Abstract

Church-state relations have always been important but the need for an historical re-evaluation has been heightened by recent developments in the relations between governments and religious bodies. Drawing on a wide range of historical case-studies this book focuses particularly on the way in which the traditional European Old World fusion of church and state was reshaped in the New World of European settler colonies of the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Its analysis illuminates both the historical dynamics of such changes and the way in which such developments continue to influence the conduct of church-state relations in both the Old and the New Worlds.

Abstract

Er komt een ijsbeer aan op de rug van een walvis. Daarna een bruine beer in een bijzondere boot. De ijsbeer is in de boomhut geklommen; de bruine beer volgt. Ze hebben genoeg aan elkaar. Maar het water is inmiddels gezakt en er komen steeds meer dieren aan: over land, door de lucht... Ze willen allemaal de boomhut in. Die raakt ten slotte overvol. Gelukkig gaan ze ook allemaal weer weg. En als de avond is gevallen zijn de twee vrienden weer samen. Ronald en Marije Tolman, vader en dochter, maakten samen een prentenboek dat geen woorden nodig heeft om een mooi verhaal te vertellen - of misschien wel vele verhalen. Met de prachtige boomhut-etsen van Ronald Tolman als achtergrond weet Marije werelden vol verwachting en verwondering te scheppen.Bron: https://www.bol.com/nl/f/de-boomhut/36251217/

Abstract

Op een nacht vergaat er een circusschip. De gemene circusdirecteur bekommert zich niet om de dieren aan boord, maar redt alleen zijn eigen dikke lijf. Hoestend en proestend slepen de vijftien circusdieren zich aan land. De bewoners van het dorpje aan de kust schrikken zich een hoedje als ze 's ochtends de gordijnen opendoen en een tijger tussen hun tulpen vinden en een leeuw op het gazon. Gelukkig bewijzen de dieren al snel hun nut, en het duurt dan ook niet lang of mens en dier leven vreedzaam samen. Maar dan komt de hebberige circusdirecteur terug en eist zijn dieren op ...

Abstract

Wat houdt een samenleving bijeen? Gemeenschappelijke waarden en normen worden meestal aangewezen als het antwoord op de pregnante vraag naar de binding (of sociale cohesie) van de samenleving. Toch is de auteur van deze nieuwe verzameling sociologische essays niet tevreden met dit standaardantwoord. De vraag moet immers gesteld worden wat een samenleving bijeen houdt als gemeenschappelijke waarden niet of niet meer aanwezig zijn en de samenleving verscheurd dreigt te worden door felle groepsconflicten en scherpe wij-zij-tegenstellingen. In die situaties heeft een samenleving, net als een grote

Abstract

Interreligious Hermeneutics and the Pursuit of Truth argues that in inter-religious dialogue, we must not dismiss truth claims-whether metaphysical, ethical, or aesthetic-as mere cultural preference or existential display. Though such claims contain the uncomfortable possibility of conflict, they can also be rationally contested, and even synthesized in the service of broader, more adequate worldviews.

Abstract

Thinking the Divine in Interreligious Encounter seeks to take seriously our questions of cross-cultural and inter-religious dialogue on God or the Divine: How can the Divine be named and thought as Europe finds itself in midst of cross-cultural processes of a global nature and as religions such as Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism come into the foreground in the West? What are some of the major shifts in Christian theology, as it recognizes that peoples of non-Christian faith traditions name and think the Divine in ways that differ from and sometimes conflict with Europe’s dominant religion(s) and secular culture? Together with “Naming and Thinking God in Europe Today” and “Post-colonial Europe in the Crucible of Cultures” (Rodopi 2007), this volume allows us to discover opportunities for a multivalenced reflection on God or the Divine that achieves mutual intelligibility without surrendering to a dogmatic untranslatability or a crude relativism.
